Recently a few colleagues provided a training at the municipality of Utrecht on information modeling related to the built environment. Aim was to get value from your data by making an information model. The practical training was divided in 4 steps:

1️⃣ Information needs | Your foundation

2️⃣ Terms and concepts | How do we call things?

3️⃣ Information model | Classification, information and relations

4️⃣ Knowledge | Getting value from your data

A next training is planned to discuss the role and value of linked data.

Last Friday, a number of colleagues followed a Scrum Training. This training was given by our Agile/Scrum coach Lars Liebrand!

Within BIM-Connected it is important that all colleagues can work according to the Scrum method. This helps:

👉🏽 our software development | Wistor and BIM-Bridge

👉🏽 to have control over our projects

👉🏽 to achieve faster, workable and structured results with clients

If you are also interested in Scrum training, please feel free to contact us. Our colleague Lars is happy to help and/or provide a training.

Our colleague Lucas Verhelst has joined the board of Stumico. Stumico is the association for digitalization in construction, from housing and infrastructure to utility construction and installations. Every year Stumico organizes various inspiring events about trends, developments and innovations in our dynamic field. The association connects more than 200 members from all over the Netherlands.

Have a look on the website of Stumico: https://www.stumico.nl/

We are happy to have extended the collaboration with the Municipality of Amsterdam for the further development and use of the OTL (Object Type Library). 🌟

The municipality has once again given us the confidence to take the use of the OTL to a higher level. Both within the project and maintenance phase.💡

Congratulations to our fantastic team for their efforts and dedication! Let’s continue to deliver excellent results together. 👏

In the past year, BIM-Connected won the tender for the construction of an asset information facility for the Municipality of Utrecht; The way in which information about objects (assets) in the Public Space is provided.

As BIM-Connected, we are extremely proud that the municipality of Utrecht has chosen the vision to work with open data standards that disconnect data from applications. With this innovative solution, more efficient and sustainable information management is not far away. Together with Visma | iASSET, who are responsible for the Basic Public Space Management System, is taking the right steps with the municipality in the digital transition and data-driven working.

The strength of the Wistor platform for this assignment is:

👉 The platform is configured around the data (sets).

👉 Hosting data based on Linked Data

👉 Easy to use and apply open standards (NEN3610, NEN2660, IMBOR)

👉 Connect to the Common Ground principles of municipalities

👉 Automatically integrates and validates the data

👉 Viewer functionality

In the near future, several applications will be connected to the CDE, making more information available centrally and in a harmonized manner.

#Wistor #CDE #MakingDataValuable

Based on our submitted plan, we as international consortium (Dutch participants: Stam + De Koning, Eindhoven University of Technology (TU/e), BuildingSmart Benelux and BIM-Connected) have been awarded the subsidy process by ITEA4 for the FireBIM project.

FireBIM aims to harmonize and implement the fire safety codes of participating countries into an open-source, web-based BIM platform for fire safety assessment that facilitates (inter)national fire safety documentation and compliance from the early design stages.

Our expertise: recording fire resistance requirements in an ontology, and then automatically checking 3D models (in IFC) based on the ontology. Our Wistor platform is used to make multiple use cases, user-friendly, possible in the coming years.

Project description over here.

This initiative contributes to the United Nations (UN) sustainability goals.

Thursday afternoon September 14, the 𝗪𝗶𝘀𝘁𝗼𝗿 launch event 🚀

Sign up, possibly together with your colleague, by sending an email to info@wistor.nl. There are a limited number of places available.

Wistor is a revolutionary platform for dealing with data in an innovative and modular way. With Wistor you configure the platform around your data (sets), instead of developing an application and adding data to it.

Give data a central role, think data-centric and create value from it.

Do you share our vision, or are you curious about the applications? Register for this event, find out more and join the conversation.

Program:
– keynote speaker
– vision on asset information management in the built environment
– demonstrations and experiences of Wistor applications
– (networking) drinks

Knowledge session 💡

As part of our two weekly knowledge sessions our colleague Fred Kloet invited Jeffrey Truijens, partner at VDNDP, at our office.

Topic: Data-driven Facility Management. How do we help our clients in data-driven decision making in the last stages of the asset life cycle? What could be improved and what can we learn from BIM and digitalization in earlier stages of the asset life cycle?

A good session to share knowledge between VDNDP and BIM-Connected.

#LDAC2023 has started with the Summer School.

This week our collegues Ellen van den Bersselaar and Lucas Verhelst are joining the Linked Data in Architecture and Construction community in Matera for workshops, presentations and discussions.

We are proud to sponsor this event with a use case for the summer school and two presentations.

It is possible to attend some of the sessions online, check out: https://linkedbuildingdata.net/ldac2023/summerschool/#programhttps://lnkd.in/etQF3b9p
